My Boston connection:
I was born in Bean Town, and have lived in Massachusetts all my life (Hingham, Boxford and Brewster.)

My family:
My husband and I have one son who is a student at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. We have three other bundles of joy at home- Frosty, an American Eskimo ball of white fur; Dunkin, our little Teacup Poodle; and our feisty cat, Felix.

My fun fact:
I had a brief television appearance on Good Morning America on the meaning of “grace.”

My life before baby:
I’m a graduate of Endicott College, and worked for many years as a paralegal.

My life in the BabyZone:
When my son was growing up, although I always worked (to keep my foot in the door), I was fortunate enough to schedule my work day around his school day so that I could be home with him. Working part time was a perfect balance for all of us!

My hobbies and passions:
You’ll always find my head in a good book or doing something creative. My secret passion is my fondness for eBay. I enjoy eBay so much, that I “graduated” from eBay University when they came to Boston a few years ago.

My best parenting tip: Actions speak louder than lip service... be a role model by always treating others with kindness and respect. And remember to buckle up and wear your bike helmet!
